Think about that. Olbermann eventually became too embarrassing for even Algore to stomach. That’s gotta be some sort of record for shamelessness… I’ve always found Keith Olbermann to be absolutely intolerable. Even as a sports commentator he was an 11 on the 1-10 scale of ignorant obnoxiousness. When he became a political commentator that’s about […]

LOS ANGELES – Just as Tiger Woods is getting back into his swing for the Masters, three of his former porn actress flings are releasing a new X-rated movie based on their bedroom romps with the sex-crazed duffer. via Tiger Woods' Former Flings To Release Porn Film About Alleged Sexploits. Released on day 2 of […]

So, two years ago the press was snickering and snorting over the claims of rabid right-wingers who ignorantly claimed that Obamacare was unconstitutional. Nancy Pelosi famously responded to a question about the constitutionality of the law with “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?” as if to say that the mere thought that Congress […]

Cosmic wife took this photo on her way home this afternoon. This is from Hwy 285 about fifteen miles from our house. In the hour it took me to get home this fire went from a small 35 acre fire to a couple thousand acres and ended up burning down some houses. This is why […]

So, one very positive impact of reading the “Hunger Games” trilogy is that it has rekindled my desire to work on my own trilogy. Today I’ve been fleshing out the full story arc which goes beyond the first book, bringing the larger story context into sharper focus and providing more details for the background snippets […]

Didn’t see the interview (working, you know) but the tone of the article I read in the NY Post seems to show a somewhat contrite and conciliatory Tebow. Subdued even. This will be an interesting football season I think.

So, I had reviewed the first book here, then gone to see the movie while still reading the second book, (“Catching Fire”) and then yesterday I finished the final book of the trilogy (“Mockingjay”). In the past few days I’ve had a number of conversations about the books, plus I’ve read a bunch of reviews. […]

Heh.. this has to be some sort of record between reviewing a book and then reviewing the movie made from the book. So, we saw the movie Saturday. Like fools we went to the IMax viewing, figuring that the movie would be real crowded but the IMax early afternoon viewing would be the least crowded. […]

Just wrapped up this book on my break. Yeah, I took it to work to read on my breaks. That’s actually a first for a work of fiction. I mean I’ve brought lots of technical books, and even “Why We Get Fat” to work, but not to read, just to have handy if I had […]

Haven’t done a movie review in a while. Haven’t really been watching many movies lately, it’s gotten too expensive even for my profligate spending habits. But, we had been planning to see JC of Mars when the first previews came out so we finally managed to see it (two weeks after it premiered, I think). […]
